    Background

    This gene encodes coagulation factor XII which circulates in blood as a zymogen. This single chain zymogen is converted to a two-chain serine protease with an heavy chain (alpha-factor XIIa) and a light chain. The heavy chain contains two fibronectin-type domains, two epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like domains, a kringle domain and a proline-rich domain, whereas the light chain contains only a catalytic domain. On activation, further cleavages takes place in the heavy chain, resulting in the production of beta-factor XIIa light chain and the alpha-factor XIIa light chain becomes beta-factor XIIa heavy chain. Prekallikrein is cleaved by factor XII to form kallikrein, which then cleaves factor XII first to alpha-factor XIIa and then to beta-factor XIIa. The active factor XIIa participates in the initiation of blood coagulation, fibrinolysis, and the generation of bradykinin and angiotensin. It activates coagulation factors VII and XI. Defects in this gene do not cause any clinical symptoms and the sole effect is that whole-blood clotting time is prolonged.
    Protein class

    Candidate cardiovascular disease genes, Disease related genes, Enzymes, FDA approved drug targets, Human disease related genes, Plasma proteins

    Predicted location

    Secreted

    Single cell type specificity

    Cell type enriched (Hepatocytes)

    Immune cell specificity

    Group enriched (eosinophil, classical monocyte)

    Cell line specificity

    Cell line enhanced (HDLM-2, MCF7, PC-3, SH-SY5Y, U-937)

    Interaction

    Interacts with HRG; the interaction, which is enhanced in the presence of zinc ions and inhibited by heparin-binding, inhibits factor XII autoactivation and contact-initiated coagulation.

    Molecular function

    Hydrolase, Protease, Serine protease
